Fruity, spicy and with backbone from the house of Callia. The future ‘De Bortoli of Argentina?’ : masters of low priced attractive wines. This has prunes and spicy aromas typical of Shiraz. The mouth-feel has a strong presence of fruits with medium structure, is complex and creamy.

NEW BLEND: Never judge a book by its cover. Awesome Argentine Fruit, warmth & silkiness, warmer than a Chilean; less herbal. A lovely of surprise… development, once opened was unexpected. Day 2 was sublime. Simply had to purchase a further 8 cases to lock in the price for a while. “Delicious”, my wife adds, “this is exactly what I like!” Job done.

A classic California red table wine, light and fruity, designed for everyday enjoyment, from the film-maker of extraordinary complexity and accomplishment. Winemaker’s notes: Rosso is made from a blend of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah

It is a great coup for us to get access to this wine at last and a great privilege to now offer it for sale on this site. Garnet red. Red fruit aromas, mainly Morello cherries. Well-structured, with sustained tannins. Perfect with pizza, pork and lamb dishes.

Michel Chapoutier is to The Southern Rhone, what Joseph Drouhin is in Burgundy: a class act negotiant. In this wine we have a deep purple red colour. The nose has lifted aromas of red fruits, blackcurrant and raspberry. The palate is fresh and round tasting with a finish of stewed fruits all served up with finesse.

Current Vintage: 2012. France’s Northern Rhone where the mighty wines are still affordable; just and rumoured not to be so for much longer. Deep garnet. Red fruit & blackcurrant dominate, followed by aromas of violet. Generous, powerful tannins; finish of stewed fruits & vanilla; fresh & fruity. 95-97 pts: Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. (Also; 1999 & 2001for a few more Yuan…).

Well, well, well. This bottle was opened on a night when I felt really adventurous. Very, very surprisingly good and for little money. The stable-mates both do a great job for little money also, and turn up in restaurants at very reasonable prices too (especially the Chenin Blanc), but due to it’s south African origin, few are aware or interested. Pity.

Tyrrell’s keeps winning advocates & awards: Australian Winery of the Year in 2009 & 2010 from Campbell Mattinson & James Halliday, 2 of Australia’s foremost wine writers. A smooth, soft and spicy red wine with aromas of dark ripe fruit and subtle vanillin oak. The palate is full, rich and firm with good length and complexity.

“Clear, inviting crimson; like all the top Tyrrell’s Shiraz, open-fermented, matured for 15 months in near-new and one-year-old French 2700-l oval casks for 15 months; the X factor is the special purity of fruit flavour coming from ancient vines on red soils. Many will drink the wine (with great enjoyment) long before it reaches its peak.” James Halliday 97 points.
